Xuefu Zhang commented on HIVE-6469:
-----------------------------------
Thanks for Chiming in, [~appodictic]. I didn't mean to block this. My thoughts
were: #1 if there were a simpler solution that satisfies majority of use cases;
#2, skipTrash seems too implementation-specific and exposing it at syntax level
might have cause hiccups down the road. Of course, I'm happy to hear other
thoughts from the community.
> skipTrash option in hive command line

> hive drop table command deletes the data from HDFS warehouse and puts it into
> Trash.
> Currently there is no way to provide flag to tell warehouse to skip trash
> while deleting table data.
> This ticket is to add skipTrash feature in hive command-line, that looks as
> following.
> hive -e "drop table skipTrash testTable"
> This would be good feature to add, so that user can specify when not to put
> data into trash directory and thus not to fill hdfs space instead of relying
> on trash interval and policy configuration to take care of disk filling issue.
